3. In Canada: the text of the resolution that will be debated at the
annual convention of the New Democratic Party of Canada at the end of
August in Ottawa.

"Be it resolved that the NDP request the Government of Canada to:

1) Renounce the use of depleted uranium ammunition, missiles and bombs
(hereinafter referred to as"DUMBs'').

2) Take active steps to have NATO renounce the use of DUMBs.

3) Promote the view in the international community that DUMBs should
be treated as chemical weapons, and their use as chemical warfare.

4) Implement export controls to ban the export of depleted uranium to
any country that has not renounced the use of DUMBs.

5) Implement export controls to ban the export of depleted uranium to
any country that manufactures DUMBs.

6) Refuse to participate in any military conflict in which any of its
allies permits the use DUMBs."

There was actually a seventh item in the version that I presented, but
it got dropped after some debate:

7) Refuse to send Canadians as peacekeepers to any region in which
DUMBs have been used.
